Stop Bill C-22

Bill C-22, introduced in Parliament on March 12, is surveillance legislation.

This legislation will give government and law enforcement new powers to order electronic service providers, such as Google, X, Meta, Rogers, Telus, or Bell, to hand over your data.

If passed into law, Bill C-22 will allow the government to:

• order companies to develop capacity for organizing and extracting your data for law enforcement review
• order companies to install devices that feed your information to government and law enforcement
• order companies to retain your data for up to one year
• issue orders in secret.

And, the government is trying to lower the legal threshold for accessing Canadians’ information.

Ottawa is building a machinery of surveillance, but privacy is the shield of a free people.

Stop Bill C-22 so that it does not become law in Canada.

We, the undersigned, call upon all Members of Parliament to defeat Bill C-22 in the House of Commons.
